What does it mean for consumers?

The study measures owner experience for usage and interaction with driver-centric vehicle technology. The Camaro sports car out-performed the competition in its segment, ranking highest in entertainment, connectivity and smartphone mirroring, as well as scoring high in collision protection and driving assistance. That’s pretty good for a car known for its performance-oriented nature.

J.D. Power says the most important factors in defining user experience are understandability, usability, usefulness, and trust. Kristin Kolodge, Executive Director of Driver Interaction & HMI Research at J.D. Power says, “User experience is an influential differentiator in technology acceptance and in perceived automotive quality. While owners are excited by new vehicle technology, they are also often confused by it.” But not so with the Camaro and another of its GM stablemates.
